Glowing Easter Egg Hunt

Day 4 of a rainy day...I know hiding Easter eggs is a little early, but I was in desperate need of entertaining my little disciples. Last year, I had a Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt party. My oldest disciple remembered, so she insisted on doing it again. So tonight we put on our pajamas, covered the basement windows with a sheet, and got out our flashlights.

We also used glow sticks to put in the eggs. The kids cracked them while I put them inside each egg. The larger eggs would have been easier, I'll get those for next time.

Thanks for the idea! We did this last night and the kids had a blast. We put coins inside the eggs. @Lacie - you can get glow sticks at just about any dollar store or in the Target Dollar Spot. Here are some more glow stick ideas: http://www.mommysavers.com/c/t/194466/ideas-for-sleepover-fun-glow-cups

Hi Kaylee,I love this idea and have been spotlighting a couple of my favorite Easter traditions on my blog (Mom Always Finds Out at http://momalwaysfindsout.com). I shared this on my blog and of course gave all credit to you and linked to this post and your blog's home page. Thank you for the fun idea, I am going to do this with my children this year. They will love it! -Nicole

Saw this on pinterest. Did it for my daughter who is almost 2 and the neighborhood kids ages1-7 on Easter night. It was a big hit with all the kids. This will be a new tradition in our family for years to come. Thank you so much for sharing!

Awesome! I wanted to do a flashlight egg hunt for the block but we got sick so I had to cancel. I toyed with the idea of using glowsticks in the eggs so am thrilled to see your pictures and how cool they look in the dark.

Hi Kaylee!I am in charge of the non-athletic recreation programs for the Charleston Parks & Recreation Department. Your blog and others have inspired me to hold a Glow-in-the-Dark Easter Egg Hunt for teens this coming Spring!! I was wondering if I could have your permission to place your picture of the eggs on our website to help advertise for the program?Thanks so much!Kim Wargo

Wow!!! I know some kids that are gonna flip this summer!!! I will do this little activity when we go camping!!! We buy easter eggs on sale after easter and we often do egg hunt with them to keep them busy when we go camping but with this twist, they are gonna love it!!!!! Thanks for the idea!!!
